Recent Activities

  • We have organized special sessions (SS’s) every year at the SMC annual conferences since SMC2001 and are one of the champion TCs that collected the most SS papers. Our TC was awarded by IEEE Most Active SMC Technical Committee Award in 2006 and 2009.
  • Our TC is one of the most active TC’s in term of organizing/supporting international conferences where support means that our major TC members serve as the Chairs of Organizing Committees and invited speakers. We are organizing/organized a Cybernetics Summer School (CSS2014), and many conferences: SMC2014, CSNT2014, ICIM2014, PAAMS2014, IBICA2014, NaBIC2014, CASoN2014, WAC2014, SoCPaR2014, INCoS2014, ICACCI2014, iCAST2014, SCIS&ISIS2014, WICT2014, and ISDA2014.
  • See our current and past activities at our Google Site on IEEE SMCS TC on Soft Computing
  • We have a public forum, Google Site on IEEE SMCS TC on Soft Computing, for our TC members and provide members’ research interests, related conference information, and Google Group for discussion among TC members.
  • We edited a Special Issue on Soft Computing for the SMC Society eNewsletter, No. 29 (Dec. 2009) and an article on our TC at the eNewsletter, No. June 2013.

Join Us

We are the most active TC that provides opportunities for exchanging technical ideas to TC members as you see the above our activities. See our detail activities at Google Site on IEEE SMCS TC on Soft Computing, join our TC through “Join Us!” web page at this Google Site, and enjoy members’ privileges of:

  • Post your research keywords at our Google Site and find our TC members in the same research areas.
  • Advertise your conference information by posting it at our Google Site as well as finding conferences of your interest at the same site.
  • Discuss, exchange research ideas, and possibly share research resources with our TC members at Bulletin Board System, Google Group, or connect with certain TC members whom you find in the Members’ Research Interests web page at our Google Site.
  • Interact with experts in Soft Computing such as neural networks, fuzzy systems, evolutionary computation or other biologically inspired systems that are rapidly growing research fields.
  • Participate in interesting conferences and workshops.
  • Make friends from different regions of the world at our Google Site and organized conferences.
